Description

Consider the following code:

            def instance = value[0];
            def propertyName = value[1];
            observable = Util.getJavaFXProperty(instance, propertyName)

The instance  and propertyName lack completely type information; static type analysis reports an error in this case.

It's not wise to completely disable 'method not found' errors, as typed code would not be hinted either. It could be possible to suppress error if the method call parameters type-evaluates to j.l.Object or something similarly generic, in the case there's at least method with the appropriate arity.
